Left 4 Dead 2 Now Live On Steam
Dig in survivors of the zombie apocalypse, the sequel to Valve's highly regarded 2008 undead co-op shooter went live a couple hours ago. Both preorders and people buying it fresh off the website have their copies unlocked, giving those with a thirst for zombie carnage free reign over the game's five campaigns.
This time the setting is the deep South of the United States, letting up to four players fight from Savannah, Georgia to New Orleans, Louisiana. The sequel includes an updated "AI Director 2.0," an improved version of the system they introduced in the first game which procedurally generates the difficulty of monsters you fight depending on your progression through the campaign and what you're all doing:
Advanced technology dubbed "The AI Director" drove L4D's unique gameplay - customizing enemy population, effects, and music, based upon the players' performance. L4D 2 features "The AI Director 2.0" which expands the Director's ability to customize level layout, world objects, weather, and lighting to reflect different times of day.
It also features four new survivor characters, three new types of "Special Infected" and five new "uncommon" variants.
Those of us in Australia and Germany are unfortunately saddled with the "low violence" versions of the game, but look on the bright side-- apparently we'll get better FPS because of it!
